Jesus Will Listen To Me

"Therefore humble yourselves under the

mighty hand of God, that in due time He may

exalt you. Casting the whole of your care,

all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns,

once and for all on Him, for He cares about you."

1 Peter 5:6-7

A painting by Maria Magdalena Oosthuizen

When my soul is bowed down in the darkness,

With trials and temptation and woe,

When no mortal can comfort or cheer me,

To whom in that hour shall I go?

(Refrain)

Jesus will listen to me, Jesus will listen to me,

When, with burdens breaking, my heart is aching,

Then Jesus will listen to me.

When my friends and trusted ones leave me,

Then, shrouded in sorrow and fear,

All alone in the midst of earth's conflict,

I still have a listening ear.

(Refrain)

When my heart and my life have grown weary,

With failure and trouble and loss,

I may still ask for help and for comfort

From hands that were nailed to the cross.

(Refrain)

When I find that my life's day is ending,

And shadows of eventide fall,

When I enter the dark, lonely valley,

Ah, then upon whom shall I call?

(Refrain)
